Arrest Warrants against 2 Syrians over Attack on Hizbullah
Military Examining Magistrate Imad al-Zain issued on Tuesday arrest warrants against two Syrians for planting explosives that targeted a Hizbullah convoy in the Bekaa Valley.
Al-Zain issued the warrant against Amer Hamdan after interrogating him, said the state-run National News Agency.
He issued a similar warrant against another Syrian identified as Mohtasem Hamdan, NNA said.
Amer Hamdan is already in custody of authorities, but Mohtasem Hamdan remains at large, a judicial source told Agence France Presse.
Amer Hamdan, from Zabadani near Damascus, was arrested on July 23, a week after the latest blast targeting a Hizbullah convoy in the Bekaa valley.
One man was killed and three others wounded in the July 16 attack that targeted a convoy belonging to Hizbullah on the Masnaa road.
It was the fourth time that a vehicle had been targeted by an explosive device in the Bekaa region, which is a stronghold of Hizbullah.
Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, the source said the two suspects are supporters of the Syrian opposition to President Bashar Assad.
